Raised in Brazil, Cleo came to the U.S. for college. Uncertain of which profession to pursue, he took an aptitude test, which led him to explore classes in software engineering and psychology. After a number of years in Silicon Valley working in tech, Cleo was contacted by a Dolby recruiter with an engineering opportunity. After a few successful interviews, he first joined the Dolby Cinema Team and now works on the Dolby Voice Team.

Cleo heads to the office around 10 AM after breakfast and his workout. He grabs a complimentary coffee before discussing pending topics with the Product Team or attending meetings with the Engineering Team to define tasks and requirements. Cleo builds prototypes of proposed products and gathers feedback from customers, then introduces innovative Dolby Voice technologies to the market.
